„ORIental PeRCussIOn“
The DTX Electronic Percussion Pad MULTI-12 uses many of the high-end
features and sounds from the DTX and MOTIF series and provides an
optimum tool for live drumming, productions or rehearsals.
With over 1,200 high-class sounds - including newly-developed drum, percussion and keyboard
sounds - the DTX-12 MULTI enriches any musical situation. Up to 200 User Sets can
be programmed and added with effects to get ready for every conceivable musical style with
the best sounds around. In addition, the large 64MB Flash-ROM Wave-Memory can be filled
with additional samples which then can be assigned to the Pads.
Now the brand new soundset „Oriental Percussion“ for the DTX-MULTI 12 is available for
registered users. It is provided by EASY SOUNDS on behalf of Yamaha Music Europe - free
of charge.
The download package includes the following:
• 50 Patterns
• 24 Kits
• 132 User Waves (18 MB Samples)
The soundset has been designed primarily for traditional and modern Turkish music.
It‘s based on authentic samples of oriental percussion instruments.
The oriental instruments are however well suited for use in other music styles such as Pop,
World, Chill Out, Ambient, etc.
„Oriental Percussion“ was programmed by the Turkish musician and producer Mert Topel.
Since 1990 Mert Topel is working as a musician with nationally and internationally known
pop and rock stars such as Tarkan (1993-2008) and many others. Mert recorded several albums
as a producer of jazz, fusion, rock bands, and singers like Kirac, Mor ve Otesi, Gülden
Goksen, Grizu etc. He also has his own jazz-rock band „Fenomen“, which published its first
album in 2006 - with very good response from jazz lovers. Right now his band is working
on a second album. Another project is a collaboration with Alper Maral in the production
of an electro-acoustic-oriented album called „The Voltage Control Project“, which appears
in 2010.
The DTX-12 MULTI Patterns produced by Mert Topel should inspire the musician in the first
place and serve as basis for his own music productions.
